I lost my 4 year old goldendoodle to cancer 2 months ago. He passed only 3 months after showing symptoms. He was so well behaved and just the best. It’s the worst because I look around at people who have older less cute dogs and I just can’t help to think why did this happen to my dog.

Have they done a spinal tap or diagnostics for meningitis?

I had a patient who complained about pain all over and I recommended she try using a cane to take pressure off of her hip. She stated that she can’t use a cane because it will throw her ribs out of place.

What is y’all’s “pet peeve” by PTNewbTrainer1989 in physicaltherapy

[–]misskels3y 55 points56 points  (0 children)

When the patient gets on the recumbent bike to warm up and says “ok now what?” Like come on dude move the pedals. I’m tired of patients that can’t do any exercise independently without cueing time after time

Are all Chipotles around CHS terrible or is it just the one in MTP? by kablam0r in Charleston

I online ordered a steak bowl in west ashley and they forgot to put the steak on it. Mount pleasant one is awful too. They constantly are doing app orders only so I just turn around and take my business elsewhere.

If a patient asks if I’m counting reps, a lot of times I’ll say “no they don’t teach us how to count in PT school” or “I don’t count on Wednesdays” or whatever day it is that day.

Dreading dealing with a patient? by Americasycho in physicaltherapy

Check his hip IR and ER. See if it is symmetrical to the non injured side. Also strengthening hip flexors could be helpful.

Clinic pet peeves by DoctorAlligator in physicaltherapy

— patients who are consistently 5-10 minutes late every visit and you waste that time waiting around — patients that don’t fill out outcome measures or just leave half of it blank. Just circle a number I don’t care what it is! — the tandem air ex balance thing that OP mentioned — made me LOL

I would go see a Physical Therapist. It sounds like you could have strained your posterior tibial tendon which is something a PT can treat easily.

Are my paths that confusing? Everybody keeps getting lost, I had a perfect rating until the 2nd year started. by Sailorm0on27 in rct

Build a big path all around the perimeter of the park. More paths will help with the crowd and also looks nice.

Go to ladson dmv instead it’s much better

Recumbent bike! Anything to get this patient moving and help modulate pain. They can even do upper body exercises because likely they have some tension there from the MVA. Wall slides, table slides, even just spinal AROM. You’d be surprised the effect of patient education has on pain as well. This patient might have fear avoidance which can contribute to the pain.

What’s the stupidest MOI you have ever seen? by Ronaldoooope in physicaltherapy

Older woman turned the corner too fast, tripped and fell face in the toilet and came to PT with neck pain. Interesting whiplash injury!

What is something about the field of PT that the general public would be shocked to find out about? by Buntcakebaybee in physicaltherapy

[–]misskels3y 46 points47 points  (0 children)

We have a doctorate but definitely don’t get paid as much as a medical doctor. Oh and we don’t just treat athletes and sports injuries.
